Pine Cones in the Dust

I’ve had a couple of very pretty pine cones on my art table for about a year.  I guess I finally tossed them.  I had to scrounge these from the yard and they are so dried up and flattened out.  I decided to sketch them with pastels on a piece of MiTientes paper.

For Scavenger Hunt from Life 138  https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-138-nov-19-27.7435/


Number 5 pine cone


And the set up.  

Trying to get ready for the week.  Company, birthdays and Thanksgiving.  We have our niece Carolyn’s birthday, Jennie’s birthday and Kathy’s birthday.  We had a few in the last couple of weeks. It was Cole’s and Oliver’s birthday and a couple of nieces.   November is a full month!!
